mounting and Installation troubleshooting • Your new I:lmzar Vector'Series amplifier comes complete with all required mounting hardware. When determining a suitable location in your vehicle for the amp, please remember that it is a high-power electronic ~evice capable of generating high heat. For this reason, IIWIJI choDSe alocllion in JIIur vehicle which hIIlow ,ibrltion,adequlte ventilation,l minimum a' dust,lnd no moisture. Be sure to mount the amp in such a manner as to allow reasonable airtlow over the cooling fins. Milk the loellion lor the mounting screw holes by positioning the amp where you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each of the mounting holes to mark the mounting surtace. If the mounting surface IS carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen. lefore attempting to drill the mounting holes, take note Dllny wires,lines or other devices in JIIur vehicle which may be located behind the mounting surface! Then drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert them. Tighten the screws securely. • • • Use at least B gauge wire for power and ground connections. Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery. For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground point. Lanzar Vector Series amplifiers feature built-in fuse systems. These fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system in your vehicle from fault conditions. If you ever need to replace the fuse in your Lanzar Vector Series amp, use a fuse of exaclly the same type and rating. A different type or rating of fuse may result in damage or fire. p'rotectlon clrcultru The built-in protection circuitry in the Lanzar Vector Series amplifiers will disable the amplifier if it senses an input overload, a speaker short CIrcuit, or extreme temperature conditions. When the protection circuit is activated by any of these conditions, the Protection LED will be illuminated. If this occurs, carefully inspect the system to determine the source of the problem. • If the shutdown was a result of a thermal overload condition, allow the amplifier to cool down before attempting to restart it. • If the shutdown was a result of an input overload, or speaker short circuit, be sure to correct the condition before restarting. The amplifier can be restarted by turning the remote power OFF and then ON again. ID output_ Confinm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight. Check both in-line and buill-in fuses. Both the + 12V and the Remote tenminals roost have + 12v referenced to chassis ground. Confinm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc.) is connected and is supplying output Signal. To check if the amp is supplying signal, unflug the cables from the signal source (but leave them plugged into the amp). Briefly tap the center pin of each 0 the disconnected RCA plugs with your linger. This should produce a noise (feedback) in your speakers. Only Dne chlnnelwarks_ Conlinm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight. Check the Balance control on the head unit (or other source) to verily that it is set to its mi~oint. If you are using the Low Level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the amplifier (i.e., switch the L with the R). If the channels which is silent switches to the other side, the problem is either in the head uniVother source or the connecting cables. WIIk Dutput_ Readiust the Input Level Control(s) to better suit the input signal. IDlse In Ih. audfD_ If the noise is a "whine" whose pitch follows the engine speed, contirm that the amplifier and any other signal sources (head unit, etc.) are properly grounded . If the noise is a "clicking" or "popping" noise whose rate tollows the engine speed, this usually means that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires, or that the ignition is in need ot service. Check the rounting ot the speaker and input wires to make sure they are not adjacent to wires which interconnect lighis and other accessories. If the above steps fail to improve or clear noise interference, the system should be checked by a professional mobile audio installer. ;;/;u;;;;; VEe OR 0 NII'I AKU L - .z.
notes precautions Do not operate the amplifier wfleo it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely within the automobile to prevent damage, especially in an accident. Do not mount this amplifier so that the wire connections are unprotected, or in a pinched condition, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects. Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. If you need to replace the power fuse, do so only with a fuse identical to thai supplied with the amplifier. Using a fuse of a different type or rating may result in damage thai isnl covereO in the manufacturer's warranty. (~) _---.' ,----. 8 ~ t...' YESI Four 4-o1'1ft1l!lM'Mn, .......
